For thousands of years, an advanced planet had committed horribly insane people to a far-distant planet. But this time a mission is turned back by the now highly-advanced civilization on this distant planet: the planet Earth!

A couple watch a TV news broadcast chronicling an alien invasion and are terrified when Earth's military forces are quickly defeated. Fearing for their lives, they pack and literally run for the hills. They don't hear the news announcer then reveal that the invasion broadcast was an "original tele-screen drama entitled The Invasion From Mars!".
